DJI Inspire 3 footage

Doesn’t seem to be the exact same result. Scopes shift a little.

Ignoring the 1.4 exposure compensation and the header-hack, I get a match between:

  • Resolve (Rec.709/Linear to D-Gamut/D-Log (…to AWG3/LogC3) - via colorspace transform node)
  • Resolve (Rec.709/Linear to D-Gamut/D-Log - via DJI’s 1D LUT)
  • Baselight (CGI Linear / Rec.709 to AWG3/LogC3)
  • Transkoder/OSD (auto debayers to AWG3/LogC3)
  • Silverstack Lab (RAW set to "D-Gamut/D-Log)

Now… with the header trick, the actual “debayer to D-Gamut/D-Log” in Resolve is ever so slightly different, dare I say better?.. And no Color temp/Tint tweaking can get the Rec709/Lin to match this method.

What is Blackmagic doing? Did they profile the sensor themselves? How is it that no other software can replicate Resolve’s D-Gamut/D-Log debayer?

I’ve also tried the photo-based softwares (Lightroom, Affinity, RAWTherapee, etc.), and those are the furthest off (having no straightforward way to get a Log image),

I even compiled rawtoaces and that did not get me anywhere near the baseline.

Fascinating. Exhausting.
